Fire from above not below !!!

I note that “God is not done with Scotland” (sic), but we do not know how and when God’s Spirit moves and when a candlestick is about to be removed.

I also note that ‘the church’ (whatever that term might mean) is “to reignite the fire”. For real? What about Zechariah 4:6? Or, Luke 12:49? Or, John 15:5? Well - one must not be a Bible-basher or frighten people, who are looking for safe spaces, with the Gospel!

What has been forgotten is the sovereignty of God – who elects and reprobates. Nothing happens unless He alone wills and moves.

We have been witnessing God’s departing (if not yet departed) glory in many places. We need to be with Elijah on Mt. Carmel, not with the Baal worshippers, if we want to see the fire fall - 'senkrecht von oben'!

Behind this forthcoming event one detects the ashes of the heresy of Pelagianism with its origin in an other fire – from the pit!

With Christ no longer being the head of the national Church, the church has been decapitated, breathing less and less and soon becoming a corpse! 

An old hymn may be of some help:

O thou who camest from above

the fire celestial to impart,

kindle a flame of sacred love

on the mean altar of my heart.

There let it for thy glory burn

with inextinguishable blaze,

and trembling to its source return

in humble prayer and fervent praise.

Jesus, confirm my heart's desire

to work and speak and think for thee;

still let me guard the holy fire

and still stir up the gift in me.

Still let me prove thy perfect will,

my acts of faith and love repeat,

till death thy endless mercies seal,

and make the sacrifice complete.
